Le Méridien Xiamen

The hotel is "hidden away" in a forest/hill. They do offer a shuttle service to the cities attractions one-way, which you can use daily, so you'd only have to use Didi for the way back. Considering Xiamen is quite a compact city, it's not too inconvenient. But going out in the evening for a night market, or dinner, does require either quite a hike, or always a taxi/Didi ride. If you do like a place that's quiet and just a few minutes by car away from the city, this hotel is for you. If you want a city hotel, where you can find bars/restaurants/supermarkets next door, you're looking at the wrong place. Rooms are regular for a 5* property, nothing wrong. Yes, as others commented, there is a bit of a wet smell in the rooms - due to the hotels location. First room I was given was smelling too bad, second attempt gave me a better smelling room. At least myself, got used to it after a moment in the room. Pool is large, and clean. Proper Sauna as well. Had the executive room with lounge access included (and breakfast). Breakfast was excellent, very solid 5*. Not the best I've ever had, but certainly VERY solid. Club lounge can get busy, and the offerings are better than what you'd otherwise expect. Willa Wu and Cupid Chi, the two ladies running the Executive lounge, gave great hospitality. Really top notch. In short: If you're sensitive on rooms smelling wet and/or want a hotel located in the middle of the city, this hotel isn't for you. Otherwise, it's great. I trully enjoyed my stay, and would stay here again in the future.

Room cleaning not satisfied, restaurant eating and asking money during the dinner with family, Payment misunderstanding with trip com and hotel staff,

Preferably, they should have installed USB charger in the room, room light was not suffecient. a bench outside the front door for smokers, otherwise all were okay

Great place to stay that has many nice amenities like pool, gym, spa and nice surroundings. Would recommend!

The hotel is located on the mountain and the view is absolutely beautiful. The room is comfortable and the staff are friendly.

Very nice and comfortable stay with kids in a family room. Warm welcome in the hotel by arrival and excellent service. We enjoyed our stay, thank you so much and it won’t be the last time to book this hotel.

Great location and amazing breakfast! Friendly people and nice rooms! You should stay there! It’s what you are looking for!

I was upgraded to a Villa room, it’s very spacious area. The room is clean and comfortable. The staffs are very responsive and helpful. I had a great buffet dinner, the Sicilian chef ( I apologised that I forgot to ask his name) was very friendly too. My 2 nights stays were great….

Good hotel, clean and facilities good. The restaurant overall good but after eating there for a couple of days ( breakfast and evening meal - both buffet) we needed something better elsewhere. The location requires getting a taxi or hiring bikes. Also worth noting that the hotel is on the side of a hill so a steep walk back up if using a bike. Overall would recommend but probably better to eat out in the evenings. Staff helpful throughout the stay so no complaints.
